Tom Homan denies British far-right commentator, who was deported one day after arrest, got preferential treatment
Yiannopoulos’s removal one day after his arrest, when many others who have been deported had first endured lengthy detention center incarcerations, has prompted questions about whether he received preferential treatment in that respect. Homan said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, was trying to speed up the deportation process.
DHS had quickly publicized Yiannopoulos’s arrest on Thursday at an airport in New Orleans – where he may have travelled to attend a concert by rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West, on Friday at the city’s Caesars Superdome.
Officials with DHS touted Yiannopoulos’s arrest on Friday. By Saturday morning, Yiannopoulos’s name was removed from a list of people in ICE detention, and DHS confirmed that he had been deported to the UK on Friday – one day after his arrest.
No shit, let’s see these dickheads suffer what they want to visit on people, sending them to the worst countries they can pay to take them, if not paying to keep them in prison for life in those countries with no charges.
Which is in violation of US law. We are not supposed to deport people to places they will be tortured, let alone pay for them to be tortured.
